INTRO: [G7]

VERSE 1:
[G7] If I close my eyes, I can almost hear my mother
Callin', "Neil, go find your brother, [C] Daddy's home
and it's [F] time for supper, [C] hurry on"

VERSE 2:
[G7] And I see two boys, racin' up two flights of staircase
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace, [C] and his whiskers [F] warm on their face
[C] where's it gone, oh, [G7] where's it gone

CHORUS 1:
[C7] Two floors above the [Fm] butcher, [A#7] first door on the [D#] right
[D#maj7] Life filled to the [D#7] brim, as I stood by my [D#6] window
And looked out on [A#] those, Brooklyn [C] Roads

VERSE 3:
[G7] I can still recall, the smell of cookin' in the hallways
Rubbers drying in the doorways, [C] and report cards
[F] I was always a-[C]-fraid to show

VERSE 4:
[G7] Mama'd come to school, and as I'd sit there softly crying
Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying, [C] he's got a good [F] head if he'd apply it"
But you [C] know yourself, it's always [G7] somewhere else

CHORUS 2:
[C7] I built me a [Fm] castle, [A#7] with dragons and [D#] kings
[D#maj7] And I'd ride off with [D#7] them, as I stood by my [D#6] window
And looked out on [A#] those, Brooklyn [C] Roads

INSTRUMENTAL: [C7] [Fm] [A#7] [D#] // [A#] [C]

VERSE 5:
[G7] Thought of going back, but all I'd see are strangers faces
And all the scars that love erases, [C] but as my mind [F] walks thru those places
I'm [C] wonderin', what's [G7] come of them

CHORUS 3:
[C7] Does some other [Fm] young boy, [A#7] come home to my [D#] room
[D#maj7] Does he dream what I [D#7] did, as he stands by my [D#6] window
And looks out on [A#] those, Brooklyn [C] Road, Brooklyn [C] Roads [C open]
